Welcome to NSKSTATE.COM,
the web project about The State of NSK and the groups that comprise the NSK (Neue Slowenische Kunst) art movement.
NSKSTATE.COM is created and maintained by NSK citizens and friends.
NSK State does not exist in the real, three-dimensional space and has no physical territory; it's only territory is the dimension of the Time.

Laibach’s interpretation of Bach’s Kunst der Fuge is not a usual Laibach concert but a 90 min performance-installation show – a concert for “ Kreuzschach und vier Schachspieler”, with surround sound and visuals.
Laibach will present "Laibach Kunst Der Fuge" live in May 2008. Unlike the show in Leipzig during the Bach Tage, the line up will include live Electronic Drums and Keyboards this time.

Irwin - STATE IN TIME
February 2 – April 6, 2008
The Aarhus Art Building
Denmark
For the first time ever Irwin will exhibit its works in Denmark. At the exhibition the group presents NSK-State in Time. This continuing communication project presents a utopian state without a concrete territory, but with several thousands of citizens plus formal national symbols such as a flag, stamps, emblems and a passport that everyone is free to obtain. One of the exhibited works, Words from Africa, is a collaborative work between Irwin and nskstate.com.
In Aarhus NSK-State in Time will be documented in the form of video interviews, photographs, articles, artefacts and other kinds of visual material from the nearly 15 years of existence for this state. Recently Esben Hansen a visual anthropologist and film maker collaborated with Irwin on the interviews with NSK citizens. Moreover a passport office will be opened where at selected times during the exhibition period it will be possible to issue an NSK-passport. Read More
